On a scale of a couple million years, separating one eruption into two phases 6000 years apart isn't very significant. I guess if there were people around it would make a difference at the margins but no practical difference for the most part.

The number of eruptions has been revised up “unexpectedly”. I wonder what the real number is. Seriously though, they found volcanic bombs from the last eruption in Kansas. We are pretty much screwed here in southern Colorado. We are about 500 miles to the south/southeast.

Scientists now find that the biggest Yellowstone eruption — the fourth-largest known to science, which created the 2-million-year-old Huckleberry Ridge deposit — was actually at least two different eruptions that occurred about 6,000 years apart.

Given the length of time between major eruptions, 6000 years is practically the second part of a burp.
